Education
Solutions for Kenyan Institutions
Kenya has over 129,000 education institutions and a booming EdTech market. With the CBC transition driving digital adoption and parents searching for schools online, your institution needs a professional web presence to attract students and build trust.
Why Education Is Booming in Kenya
Kenya’s education sector is the largest recipient of government spending, with a massive digital transformation underway driven by the CBC curriculum transition.
Kenya’s education sector is massive — with over 129,463 basic education institutions as of 2024, a 39% increase from the previous year. The surge is driven by the integration of junior secondary schools under the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), which has fundamentally restructured how education is delivered across the country. Primary enrollment exceeds 10 million students, with 4.32 million in secondary and 631,300 in universities.
Private schools have seen extraordinary growth, from 7,742 in 2014 to over 16,594 in 2020 and still accelerating. In major cities like Nairobi and Mombasa, private schools actually outnumber public ones. This intensifying competition means schools can no longer rely on word-of-mouth alone — parents are searching online, comparing facilities, and making enrollment decisions based on what they find on Google.
Kenya’s e-learning market is projected to reach $222 million by 2029, growing at 18.4% annually. The government’s Digital Literacy Programme has deployed 1.2 million devices to 22,927 schools, while EdTech platforms like Zeraki serve over 50% of secondary schools. Despite this, most private schools and training institutes still lack a professional website.

Benefits of a Professional School Website
A professional website does more than showcase your school — it drives enrollment, streamlines operations, and builds the trust parents need to choose your institution.
Boost Student Enrollment
Convert browsing parents into applicants with online enrollment forms, immersive virtual campus tours, and transparent fee structures. Eliminate the friction of in-person visits for initial evaluation — let families experience your school from their phones.
Automate Fee Collection Online
Give parents a self-service portal with itemized fee statements, term-by-term payment history, and automated payment reminders before due dates. Reduce fee arrears, eliminate manual receipt books, and reconcile payments instantly.
Launch E-Learning Platform
Integrate a learning management system with CBC-aligned curriculum content, assignments, and assessments. Extend classroom learning beyond physical walls with recorded lessons, digital resources, and interactive quizzes students can access from home.
Engage Parents Digitally
Provide parents with a KNEC results portal, daily attendance tracking, and direct parent-teacher messaging. Replace paper report cards and circular notices with a digital hub that keeps families informed and involved in their child’s education.
Manage Admissions Pipeline
Track every application from submission to enrollment with automated status updates, waitlist management, and document verification workflows. Know exactly how many seats remain per class and which applicants need follow-up.
Comply with CBC Digital Requirements
Integrate digital literacy tools and KICD-aligned resources into your school’s online platform. As Kenya’s CBC curriculum emphasizes technology skills, your website becomes a living proof point of digital readiness for parents and education authorities alike.

Education Success Stories in Kenya
Real results from Kenyan schools and training institutes that transformed their enrollment and operations with a professional web presence.
"Before Quest built our website, we relied entirely on word-of-mouth and roadside banners. Now parents find us on Google, apply online, and pay fees digitally — all without visiting the school. Our enrollment doubled in one academic year, and the admin team saves hours every week on fee reconciliation."
